Turning inward, shriveled petals
Seeking the nurturing power of loving
Words never spoken
You are beautiful and you are loved.
Small, powerless, wilted and bent
Deprived of sustenance needed to grow
Into magnificence
You are beautiful and you are loved.
Feeling the sun, receiving its grace
The wind whispers the secret through
time and space
You are beautiful and you are loved.
Buds unfurling to face the day
Stem stands tall, confidence blooms
She rises up and she knows
She is beautiful and she is loved.
